Lot Description1850-O Liberty Eagle. AU-55 (NGC). The deep yellow-gold surfaces exhibit traces of luster, especially in the protected areas. The strike is fairly bold and marks are minimal. From a mintage for the date of 57,500 pieces, the vast majority of which saw heavy circulation. Indeed, we note just three Mint State grading <em>events </em>for the date at NGC, all MS-60, placing Choice AU specimens such as this in high demand among serious eagle collectors.
